Dak Prescott Eyes Historic Feat as Dallas Cowboys Prepare to Face New York Giants
ICARO Media Group
The Dallas Cowboys' quarterback Dak Prescott is on the verge of making history as he aims to continue his impressive passing streak against the New York Giants on Sunday. In their last two games against the Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles, Prescott threw for over 300 passing yards and three passing touchdowns. If he can achieve the same feat against the Giants, he will become the first Cowboy to accomplish this in three consecutive games.
While Prescott's performance garners attention, the Dallas defense is gearing up to shut down the formidable Giants running back, Saquon Barkley. Since Week 6, Barkley has amassed an impressive 388 rushing yards, leading the NFL in this category. The Cowboys, led by linebacker Micah Parsons, are well aware of Barkley's impact on the Giants' offense and are determined to neutralize his influence.
Parsons, who leads the NFL in quarterback pressure rate this season, acknowledges Barkley as the "heartbeat" of the Giants' team. He recognizes the need to force the Giants' rookie quarterback, Tommy DeVito, to take over the game and limit Barkley's contributions. With the Cowboys' unrelenting pass rush, which boasts the NFL's best team quarterback pressure rate, the Giants' offense is expected to face a significant challenge.
The Giants, currently averaging an NFL-worst 11.2 points per game this season, have struggled both offensively and defensively. They have allowed a staggering 49 sacks in nine games, tying a Super Bowl era record set by the 2002 Houston Texans. As the Cowboys' pass rush continues to dominate, the Giants' offensive line will be put to the test, hoping to avoid a similar fate.
Despite the Giants' struggling offense, Parsons emphasizes the importance of not underestimating their opponent. He cites the Cowboys' loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3 as a reminder of the dangers of overlooking any team. Parsons recognizes DeVito's abilities as an active quarterback who can make accurate passes and effectively utilize his legs, likening him to the Giants' usual starting quarterback, Daniel Jones.
The upcoming clash between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants holds significant importance as a divisional game. The Cowboys are determined to bounce back from a recent defeat and maintain their position as contenders in the NFC East. While Prescott aims for a historic achievement, the Dallas defense led by Parsons will look to stifle Barkley and exploit the Giants' struggling offense. All eyes are on the game as football fans anticipate an intense battle between these NFC East rivals.
